TL;DR: In this article, free radical scavenging, reducing activity and some phytochemical content (total phenolic, anthocyanin and ferulic acid) of eighteen Mexican maize phenotypes were determined.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the genera Anoxybacillus and Geobacillus based on 16S rRNA gene sequences from all the type strains of these genera showed three major clusters and it was proposed that GeobACillus pallidus should be classified in a novel genus, for which the name Aeribacillus is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, six peanut cultivars (Col-24-Gro, Col-61-Gto, VA-81-B, Ranferi Diaz, NC-2 and Florunner) were studied for agricultural yield, chemical composition (protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and ash), amino acid profile, digestibility, fatty acid profile and tocopherol and sterol contents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effects of microwave treatment on bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of blackberry mash with citric acid using surface response methodology, and found that the highest levels of polyphenols and monomeric anthocyanins in juice were obtained at a time of 60 seconds of 60-s of microwave processing and a concentration of 500-mg/kg citric acids in the mash.

TL;DR: This is the first report to demonstrate anticancer properties in vitro of tortilla derived from blue corn, suggesting that this product has beneficial health effects and could be a potential source of nutraceuticals with anticancer activity.
